Season's Greetings 2025

By Prof. Torsten Schrade and Dipl. Des. (FH) Sarah Pittroff, M. A.

Dear NFDI4Culture Community,

the festive season is just around the corner – a welcome opportunity to look back together on an eventful year. It was marked by inspiring events, interdisciplinary collaborations, and the development of new, practice-oriented services centred on research data management for tangible and intangible cultural heritage. We are particularly pleased about the successful launch of the second project phase of our consortium under the motto "Shared Data – Shared Practice – Shared Knowledge"

As the year draws to a close, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you who contribute to the success and continued growth of our community and services – whether as data and service providers within the consortium, as contributors to our committees, or as engaged users. Thank you for actively shaping NFDI4Culture.

At Christmas, we let the data in the Culture Knowledge Graph shine and resonate for you: angels from medieval stained glass windows of the Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi perform music sources of “Silent Night” from the Répertoire International des Sources Musicales.

Via the following link, you can receive your own personalised research data Christmas greeting with just one click:

We wish you a peaceful Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year 2026!
